Walnut -trees 60 or 100 foot asunder do good to Corn, Evelyn Silva59 - Quære, see Pliny, ib. Meager c. 6, and 18. Earm 35)2.

Pliny says, That in Boeotia the best Corn grew among Olive- trees,ibid.

Willows, hurt Corn, but not Grafs, Farm 50a.

Oaks discreetly disposed of, take off nothing from other Profits, Eve-V Silva 273.

Oaks, Ajh or Elm set in Pasture Ground 3 or 4 Rod asunder, do noharm, Cook 85. •

Oak set 1 a Yards asunder do little hurt to Corn, Meadow or Pasture,Smith 10a.

In answer to that Objection of spoiling Ground, the InconveniencesSi Orchards planted at 20 or 30 Foot distance is not worth speaking of,Hartlib’s Leg. p. 21.

, H Men would plant Fruit- trees, they might take as great Commo-dity in effect by pasturing or caring of their Ground, as now they do,Tavernerp. 2p.

By planting Fruit -trees in Fields 30 Yards asunder, you may almosthave a double Crop on your Lands, viz. Grafs, or Grain and Fruit,and the Land rather benefited than damaged, Langford c. 11. sect. 1.

By planting Fruit -trees 30 Yards asunder, there may be a great im-provement of Land, without any loss of Grafs or Corn; and so Menmay receive a double Gain; Hart lib’s Design p. 7. See also Blith’s Im-prover improved, p. 263. and Austen of Fruit-trees, p. 2.
